Known for his live shows, the Reverend Horton Heat will be treasured on this live concert DVD by legions of hipsters, greasers, punks, metalheads, skaters, cowboys and girlie-girl fans who pledge allegiance to the man and his music! With his highly stylized, backwoods hick-preacher image, it would be easy to dismiss the Reverend Horton Heat as a poseur. But it would be wrong. The good Reverend rocks the hell out of his modern-day rockabilly, playing it as if it were the hardest of punk, yet without any of the self-conscious trappings of either genre. Recorded January 31, 2003, at Deep Elum Live, Dallas, Texas. it still manages to be erotic and funny, though not always intentionally. this is a classic piece of British sex cinema directed by one of its greatest exponents, Stanley Long, who also directed fleshy masterpieces like I Am a Groupie and Naughty. |
